The Tennis Community Are Furious Over Bizarre, Trashy, Sexist Tournament Draw

The Next Gen series is a new eight man tennis competition which aims to determine the best young tennis player in the world. The tournament has gotten off to a rocky start though after their draw ceremony has been attacked for its sexist process.

The draw was to determine two groups of four, with the top two going through to a semi-final and subsequently the final. It is made up of the world's top 7 under 21 players and one Italian wildcard.

In order to determine which group the players would go into, they took turns picking on-stage models. The player would then walk down a catwalk with the model who would reveal a 'A' or 'B.'

The models pulled back an article of clothing to reveal the group, with one having the letter on her upper thigh and Hyeon Chung forced to use his teeth to take a glove off a models hand and discover his group.
